Elizabeth and John Edwards on Politics Meets Web 2.0

"Four experts in web services and data aggregation will showcase their offerings, ranging from sophisticated new voter file tools to services mashing up all kinds of data on influence-peddling, to blog aggregation at the neighborhood level. This session is for the hard-core geeks in the audience, and will cover not only the potential of today's database tools but the challenges in this work as well. "

Interesting conversation for sure, as was others I attended about the rise of the ProAm journalist (Professional-Amateur). But nothing was as interesting as an interview that Andrew Rasiej conducted with Elizabeth Edwards via skype. John Edwards was coming home from a trip, just as the interview was being conducted and ended up joining in.

Here are two clips from that interview.
